"Unashamed" by Matthew West is a powerful anthem that expresses a deep commitment to faith and the bold declaration of one's beliefs. At its core, the song encourages listeners to stand firm in their conviction and share their faith openly, regardless of societal pressures. The song emphasizes the transformative power of belief in Jesus Christ, highlighting how this faith shapes one's identity and actions. West uses scriptural references to illustrate the idea that true courage comes from standing firm in one's beliefs, even in the face of adversity.
The first verse includes references to the biblical accounts of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who defied a king's decree and were thrown into a fiery furnace, and Daniel, who was thrown into a den of lions for praying. These narratives serve as metaphors for perseverance and divine protection. West effectively illustrates that just as these Biblical figures overcame peril with their faith, so too can individuals today find strength in their beliefs. The pre-chorus questions personal legacy, prompting introspection about one's response to challenges. This idea resonates across cultures, especially in environments where faith can lead to ridicule or opposition, making the message relatable to anyone grappling with the decision to remain steadfast.

3 brothers in a fire Willing to die for their faith But You were with them in the fire And they walked out the next day
And Daniel met a lion Because he chose to pray But You shut the mouth of that lion And he walked out the next day
So What's gonna be said of me when it's all said and done will I stand for my beliefs or will I turn around and run Well let the whole world hear me say
I'm unashamed Of the gospel of Jesus Christ And the truth that changed my life For the Name above all Names I'm unashamed And I will live my faith out loud Take a stand and stand my ground For the One who took my shame I'm unashamed
I don't answer to the crowd I answer to a King So the louder they shout Oh the louder I sing Yeah
What's gonna be said of me when it's all said and done will I stand for my beliefs or will I turn around and run Let the whole world hear me say
I'm unashamed Of the gospel of Jesus Christ And the truth that changed my life For the Name above all Names I'm unashamed And I will live my faith out loud Take a stand and stand my ground For the One who took my shame I'm unashamed
At the name of Jesus Every knee will bow And every tongue confess So let it start right now
Before you come back Lord Before the rocks cry out I will lift my praise Let it start right now
I'm unashamed Of the gospel of Jesus Christ And the truth that changed my life For the Name above all Names I'm unashamed Yeah And I will live my faith out loud Take a stand and stand my ground For the One who took my shame I'm unashamed
I'm unashamed
Oh I'm unashamed (I'm unashamed) I want the world to hear me say I'm unashamed I'm unashamed Oh I'm unashamed For the One who took my shame I'm unashamed
Lord I will stand for You I tell the world about You I'm unashamed
